Coal region transitions diverge due to structural and institutional factors. Using Q-methodology and 60 stakeholder interviews, the study identifies two transition rationales (environmental orientation and coal utilization) and three archet…

Chandrani Ray Chowdhury

This chapter reviews generative models for probabilistic forecasting of renewable energy production, addressing the limitations of traditional ML/DL in handling stochastic, nonlinear data. It demonstrates how probabilistic forecasts support…

Vasileios Gavalas

This paper analyzes the Greek shipping industry's role in sustainability and green transition, proposing policy recommendations within the EU framework. It develops a multiplier model showing the industry's economic impact and its potential…
